FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WVU Club Recognized at Convention
Golden Key claims award for projects
Morgantown, WV
WVU's chapter of the Golden Key International Honor Society
was
recognized for its outstanding community and academic projects during a
regional convention last month in New York.
The chapter was the only club to claim two awards: the Best Community
Service Project and Best Academic Service Project.
It also won the Best Community Service Project for helping with the
student United Way campaign and "Rocking on the Riverfront" concert.
The concert was staged in October during Homecoming Week and raised
almost $3,000 for United Way agencies.
The Best Academic Service Project recognized the WVU chapter for
organizing Graduate and Professional School Informational Month in
February. The chapter scheduled Kaplan test drives for students to take
practice graduate entry exams. The event also included a graduate and
professional school forum that included admission representatives from
WVU's College of Law, School of Medicine, School of Pharmacy, School of
Dentistry and College of Business and Economics' MBA program.
Both of these projects will be considered for international awards at
the international convention this summer in Chicago.
Robert L. Kent, the director of WVU Career Services Center and primary
adviser for WVU Golden Key, was also honored as the Eastern Regional
Adviser of the Year. Kent competed against 25 other advisers for the
honor. He has the opportunity to be selected as the International
Adviser of the Year.
The Eastern Regional Convention, held March 28-30 at Queens College in
New York City, brought together 25 different chapters throughout the
East Coast.
The Golden Key association is also preparing to present its Golden
Apple award to four outstanding WVU teachers and two advisers. Unique
on the WVU campus, the Golden Apple is the only award given solely by
students for teaching and advising.
This year's Golden Apple winners for teaching are:
* John Kuhlman, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
* Joseph Shaeiwitz, associate professor of chemical engineering.
* Robert DiClerico, professor of political science.
* Jeff Petersen, professor of chemistry.
Award recipients for advising are: Richard Turton, chemical
engineering, and Migri Prucz, College of Engineering and Mineral
Resources.
